What happens when a 500-pound person can’t fit through the door or get into the larger seats?

Morbid obesity may be disabling, but it is wrong to afford it the same rights and protections afforded other disabilities.

No accommodation should be made for this self-imposed “disability,” and certainly no money awarded.

No one forced this person to eat so much.

Take responsibility for your own behavior and stop blaming other people for your weight problem.

The thought that the courts would even entertain a lawsuit brought by an out-of-shape glutton shows what some lawyers feel they can get away with.

Vulture-type lawyers, looking for a fat payday on some frivolous complaint, get a hold of an overweight dunce who should be spending more time jogging than in a burger joint, and claim he’s a victim under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The sad part is that, judging from the liberal leanings of the court system and some out-of-tune-with-reality jurors, Martin Kessman might collect.
